Born into the 90's

Born into the 90's was R. Kelly's debut album with his back-up band Public Announcement. Released in January 1992, the album became an instant hit with the success of "She's Got That Vibe" (the album's biggest hit in the UK, at #3), "Dedicated," and Kelly's first two #1 R&B hits: "Honey Love," and "Slow Dance (Hey Mr. DJ)." Honey Love topped the Billboard R&B Singles chart for 2 weeks, while "She's Got That Vibe" and "Slow Dance (Hey Mr DJ)" hit the Top 40 respectively. By June 1992 Born Into the 90's was certified Gold and eventually went platinum in 1993, also picking up an American Music Award nomination for Favorite Soul/R&B Single ("Honey Love"). However, Kelly left the group shortly after the album's release to pursue a successful solo career.
